Help Sébastien replace the suspension and return to work

Sébastien drives for a living in Boulogne-Billancourt, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

Boulogne-Billancourt
I make my living with my motorbike. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,500. Without the vehicle I earn nothing. I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask. I support my two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three months if I can just get the vehicle working. I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $1,500 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $930 • Labor charges: $300 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $200 • Towing and inspection: $70 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Sébastien
